    A thought is born. It consumes old ideas to fill the void. The thought cries out and creates more thoughts. The thoughts cannibalize each other until one remains. A thought that is not voiced fades way.

    I realized This is exactly how l've viewed the world but too ambiguous that I couldn't express in any lanquage, any word.
    It turned out The language which could express this abstract nihilistic idea was Gökalp Gönens' film.

    Excellent work! Animation style is very thought-provoking. I knew from the beginning it was going to be a cycle, but it didn't detract from the journey at all. Really enjoyed it.
    Did wonder, if you put a part of the creature through the door from this side, whether the hole in the door would close up, in the same manner it does for the creature.
